Holton Closure 7/15/24 - Member Update

Hello Community Members,

We’d like to keep everyone informed about the events that took place on Monday, July 15, 2024. It has been a challenging and stressful week for many, and we hope to clarify some of the uncertainties to continue to nurture the special environment we share.

A2 made the difficult decision to terminate someone’s membership following an investigation into allegations of illegal activity and findings by the Boston Public Health Commission and other agencies Based on the findings, A2 concluded that this individual cannot not continue to be part of our community.

Several agencies responded to the allegations, including the fire department and the Boston Public Health Commission. The authorities identified safety concerns regarding the structure and operation of this person’s space. The inspectors found no other issues in the Holton building, but Harvard Real Estate will be conducting their own inspections of both buildings soon.

Please ensure that your studio, if you’re subscribing to one, conforms to the studio buildout guidelines. Help ensure that electrical panels, fire safety equipment, first aid kits, and other similar equipment are accessible and not blocked. Make sure that passageways are unobstructed. Additionally, let’s all remember that keeping A2 clean and tidy is a collective effort; clean up after yourself, take out the trash if it’s full, and strive to leave things better than how you found them.

Thank you for your cooperation and for helping us maintain a safe and welcoming space for everyone.
